FAQs - Facial Care Range

Will The Olive Tree's Hydrating Damask Rose Floral Facial Care range aggravate sensitive skin?

Our facial care range is specially formulated for all skin types including sensitive skin. We use Damask Rose essential oil to help restore moisture to the skin, French Roman Chamomile to help relieve inflammation and Australian Calendula extract to help repair damaged skin cells. 

However, we do understand that everyone's skin is unique. As such, it is always advisable to do a patch test before using a new product on the face. Apply a small amount of the product on the skin away from the skin and leave it for 24 hours. If there is no adverse reaction like itchiness or redness, you can then apply a small amount on your face. Use less amount than you normally would in the first instance and if there is no adverse reaction, you can increase it gradually to normal amount.

In the event that you have an adverse reaction, please stop using the product. Please do email us at info@theolivetree-organic.com or use the contact form under the “Contact Us” page for an exchange or refund within one month upon goods received date. This is because we strongly believe in the quality and integrity of our products and want you to have the same reassurance too.
